"On the death of Alexander Arbuthnot, who never married, his cousin, William Forbes of Rigend of Kinminity (? Kinmundy), was served his heir, service being dated 13th September, 1748. William Forbes, who, according to entries in an old Bible long in the Forbes family, was son of Duncan Forbes, minister of Aikenway, and grandson of Duncan Forbes, minister of Pitsligo, and Agnes Arbuthnot, married in 1752 Isabella, daughter of Alexander Forsyth 'in Keith,' and had issue six sons. The fourth of these, Duncan Forbes, who became Laird of Cairngall after the death of his brothers, was born in 1765, and sold Cairngall in 1803 to Mr. John Hutchison of Peterhead,"
